Students Should Wear School Uniforms or Not?

The great debate continues about which students have to wear school uniforms? There is no definitive answer, because everything depends on the beliefs of people. There are benefits for some children who wear uniforms and disadvantages for others.

The main reason for the schools in the United States decides not to allow their students to wear their own clothes is because of the gangs. Have a uniform stop displaying gang colors and clothing. Schools are also thought to help stop violence and helps instill a sense of pride in students. It also helps break down barriers between different socioeconomic groups.

Some views taken from a message board on the subject:

"I feel that we have with the uniform. This is an example of the school. It represents the community. It is easy to point to different people. There will be more fights / bullly 's due to the lack of "fashion." "

"Many schools throughout the U.S. force students grades kindergarten through twelve to wear uniforms. Students who attend public schools should not have to wear uniforms for four reasons.

1. School uniforms inhibit students individuality. Young people often express their feelings through the clothes they wear. Uniforms remove this form of expression. Why should school districts try to make everyone look the same?

2. A school uniform policy inhibits a student's freedom of choice. Schools teach students that our country is free. But when the school board that students use what they say as well - that limits the freedom of students.

3. There is the question of costs. Many parents store their children's clothes at discount stores used . Uniforms can cost more money these families could afford. In addition, these students would have to buy clothes for use after school and weekends. That is double the amount of money a family would spend than they would without the uniforms.

4. The last reason I do not like the idea of school uniforms is comfort. Students enjoy comfortable clothing to school. Uniforms are not necessarily comfortable. In addition, wearing a uniform can make students uncomfortable with people outside of school do not have to wear a uniform.

If you want individuality, freedom and convenience for students, keeping costs down for families, we should not have a school uniform policy for students attending public schools. "

"In my opinion, right up to the year 11 students / children should have to wear school uniform, to stop all arguments about who has the latest fashions, etc.
